treatment other than that prescribed BY .
regular practitioner; and the time was when
q man using an advertised remedy did so
more or less surreptitiously. However, this
has happily given away to a broader and
more liberal view Of things, typifed in Mr..
Peabody's frank expression that he knows
Of no valid reason why commendation
should not be equally as hearty In one In
stance as in the other.
Certainly this would appear fair In the face
Of the facts. He was assured that the in

Something Interesting About Mogoui

Something Interesting About Mosqui-
toes.-The Baltimore Sun gives the following
information on an interesting subject: "The long
cylindrical eggs of mosquitoes are laid in little
pockets which float on the surface of standing
water. In four weeks after Matching the insect
passes through its transformations and becomes
an enemy to mans comfort. The young mosqui-
to, in the Larvae state is aquatic living like fish
in ponds, lakes and stagnant water. 1t is fish
like in shape, with the head and adjoining parts
much enlarged, and breathes by means of bunch
of hairs radiating from long tubercle at the end
of the body and connecting with the internal res
piratory tubes. 1t remains most of the time after
coming from the egg at the bottom, feeding upon
decaying matter, and is thus very beneficial as a
scavenger. Later it becomes very active, jerking
up and down in the water, aided by a pair of
broad caudal leaves. When observed constantly
about the surface of the water it is sure sign it
is about to assume the full shape and powers of a
mosquito. The aquatic animal is to crawl
ON some substance floating on the water-a leaf
or bit of twig-give twist or two, split its COW
ering, and in short time put out wings and float
away. The males, which may be distinguished
by their bushy horns or feelers in front of their
heads, do not bite. 1t is the female who gives all
the trouble-singiug and biting No poison gland
has yet been found in the mosquitoes head, and
it is generally thought that the Inflammation and
swelling following the bite of mosquitoes are due
to the irritation set up by their slightly barbed

to know that mosquitoes have their personal trou-
bles also, as the microscope shows vermin on them
not unfrequently."
